Williams best choice to assume DA's office

Former Supreme Court Justice Harry C. Martin and former Chief District Judge Earl Justice Fowler have endorsed Asheville attorney Todd Williams for district attorney. Those endorsements alone are enough to convince every Buncombe County voter that it is time for a change in the district attorney's office.

I can't count the times that DA Moore has defied the laws of transparency in government and deep-sixed information the public has a right to know such as details of Asheville Police Department's evidence room scandal. Over and over again, he has concealed the 15-volume Blueline Report that we taxpayers paid for and are entitled by law to see.

Secrecy is the sibling of corruption and transparency is the sibling of justice. Transparency, professionalism, and integrity are what Williams will bring to this office. He has served with distinction as an assistant capital defender and is an experienced criminal defense attorney who can be trusted to do the job. He is what Buncombe County deserves.

Let's retire DA Moore. He could be unopposed in the general election, so make sure your registration is up to date so that you can vote for Todd Williams in the Democratic primary on May 6.
